The Road to Hamburger Hill

A Novel

By: Bruce D. Johnson

It is the 1950s in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, as Bruce Johnson grows up in a traditional middle-class Caucasian family—a label that causes his mother to drink. When he starts school, he soon becomes the youngest student ever to be expelled from Saint Petronille Elementary School. Meanwhile, halfway around the globe, in Vietnam, Southeast Asia, the Geneva Accords effectively disunites the country at the seventeenth parallel. While on his unique coming-of-age journey, Bruce hunts for soda-pop bottles to return for two cents, ice skates on Lake Ellyn until dark, puts a male competitor in a headlock at an eighth-grade dance with the hopes of wooing his love interest, creates a radioactive science project that shuts down the entire competition, and much more. After graduating from high school by the proverbial skin of his teeth, Bruce receives a notice of eligibility for the draft, loses his appeal, and is recruited into the army where he soon finds himself charging headlong up a cursed hill into manhood. Set in chronological order, The Road to Hamburger Hill takes a light-hearted, nostalgic look at growing up during two transitional decades in America and serving in the Vietnam War.

"There's Mel, There's Woody, and There's You"

My Life in the Slow Lane

By: Bruce Kimmel

Bruce Kimmel has managed to eke out a career in one form of show business or another for over forty years. A successful Grammy-nominated record producer, Kimmel began his show business journey as an actor, in a time when being a young up-and-coming thespian was fun, thrilling, and when anything seemed possible. It was a different world for a young actor in the 1970s, and Kimmels journey is paved with laughs, tears, success, and an amazing cast of players. At twenty-seven, he wrote, co-directed, and starred in a film that would become a major cult success, The First Nudie Musical. He did TV pilots, guest shots, series, plays. He met and worked with incredible people. It was the kind of time we will never see again. And then things changed. The nature of the business changed. And the path to dealing with those changesgetting older, trying to survive in an ever increasingly negative and cutthroat worldbecomes a story of reinvention and rebirth. Through it all, Kimmel tells his tale with wit, candor, affection, and self-effacing honesty. Enjoy being the fly on the wall as Kimmel hangs out with Elsa Lanchester, Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy; goes to Grouchos house and plays the piano for him; works with Shirley Jones, David Cassidy, Susan Dey on The Partridge Family. We observe his long friendship with Cindy Williams, watch as he works with screen legends Patricia Neal, Jean Simmons, Leslie Nielsen, Patrick Macnee, Bud Cort, and Geraldine Fitzgerald, and as he hangs out with Hugh Hefner at the Playboy mansion., Bruce Kimmels showbiz tales are loaded with laughs, wide-eyed wonder, and heart.

Prime Time Network Serials

Episode Guides, Casts and Credits for 37 Continuing Television Dramas, 1964-1993

By: Bruce B. Morris

On September 15, 1964, ABC launched a programming experiment--a prime time series similar to the daytime soap operas that were so successful. Peyton Place became a fixture on the network's schedule for the next five years. The success of Dallas in the early 1980s made the prime time soap opera a staple of television programming. From Bare Essence through The Yellow Rose, this reference work details the successes and failures of 37 prime time serials through 1993. For each show, a lengthy history covers the character development and provides production details, and season-by-season data provide start and end of the season, time slot, comprehensive cast and credits, and an episode guide.

Baby Names Around the World

By: Bruce Lansky

Like everyone, you want your special baby to have a special, meaningful name. Bruce Lansky, North America's foremost expert on baby names, will help you keep several things in mind as you choose one. For example, when people talk about baby names, what's the first question they ask? Boy or girl? But there are lots of genderneutral names (such as Avery, Jordan, Loren and Tracy) and lots of others that have a "male" and "female" spelling (Billie/Billy, Dani/Danny, Lani/Lanny, Terri/Terry). Besides offering a lengthy list of these names, Lansky also discusses the two attitudes towards names and gender. Some parents feel a unisex name allows them to pick a name with certainty, even before the baby's sex is known. They also appreciate the lack of traditional sex-role stereotyping associated with those names. But others argue that a child shouldn't need to explain which sex he or she is, and that boys especially may feel threatened or insulted if they're presumed to be girls.

The Trials of Lenny Bruce

The Fall and Rise of an American Icon

By: Ronald K. L. Collins,David M. Skover

Lenny Bruce had the power to provoke laughter and delight from the repressed society of the early 1960s. But he also infuriated authorities; his blunt honesty caused him to be arrested and tried for obscenity in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. These trials made history as a challenge to the First Amendment. This ground-breaking biography, told through text and an accompanying audio CD, allows readers to listen to, laugh with and understand the man whose words had the power to provoke laughter and debate -- as well as shock, outrage and arrests. The one-hour audio CD brings Lenny Bruce's voice to you, including his notorious routines and excerpts from the never-before-released secret tapes of his New York obscenity trial. The Trials of Lenny Bruce is the authoritative work on his career and free-speech battles. It paints a vivid, shocking, hilarious portrait of a man too honest for his time. Book jacket.
